CPB in Spokane acting scuzzy has caught up with them. I hope that Mr. Elshieky gets all of the money and that there are real reforms. Also, even if the fuckery were justified (it’s not) the bus ride from Spokane to Portland isn’t exactly the hot route for international smugglers.

Trump Says Mar-A-Lago Can’t Find US Workers To Hire. New Documents Show Dozens Applied. Trump often says his resorts have no choice but to hire foreign guest workers — there just aren’t any Americans to take the jobs. But government records show nearly 60 US residents applied for those jobs, and only one was hired.

“Trump complained about the influx of undocumented immigrants from south of the border. “Our country is full,” he said. “Can’t take you anymore, I’m sorry.” Yet throughout that time, he has continued a practice — started more than a decade ago — of staffing his high-end resorts with foreign workers. ”

Hypocrite. I await the republican outrage…… waiting…. waiting…. ah who am I kidding? They never hold him accountable.

To continue to be eligible for unemployment benefits a recipient has to send out a certain number of applications for employment each week. Frequently the recipient isn’t a realistic candidate for a job.

Someone filling a quota by applying for a job paying $10/hr, but listing a salary expectation of $25/hr, isn’t going to be taken seriously.

But (s)he will make a list and Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit will spew it here.

Hey, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, you’re right, that tax could be up to 37%.

Of course, that would require the recipient to have income of $500,000/year if single, or $600,000/year if married filing jointly. And in the example cited in your link the money was being paid to the child of the KIA soldier. So, not so massive, that tax. Unless the kid has a pretty fucking big trust fund as well.

@3 In which Doctor Dumbfuck again, repetitively, celebrates the elevation by our dysfunctional electoral college system of a mentally ill, protofascist, racist, pathological liar to the highest office in the land.

It takes a real dumbfuck to do that.

It also takes the kind of persistence shown by a telemarketer who keeps calling your number even though you’ve refused to pick up the phone over 1,000 times. The kind you report to the FTC.

There really isn’t that much difference between Doctor Dumbfuck and telemarketers. He’s basically a robocaller for the GOP and Trump.

@2 Gudwad telepathically KNOWS those American applicants demanded $25 an hour the same way he telepathically KNOWS Roger Rabbit is not worth a million dollars….by spouting complete fucking nonsense without any evidence to back up his ridiculous claims. ( I liked the way roger said it)

The one US resident who these records indicate was hired got a job at Mar-a-Lago, in 2015, as a cook earning $13.01 per hour.

“A yearlong investigation by BuzzFeed News found that in many industries with seasonal staffing needs, employers prefer to hire foreign guest workers because they are seen as more compliant — less likely to quit for another job or to complain about low pay, physically demanding tasks, or difficult schedules. Unlike Americans who commute to their jobs and may have families and other demands on their time, guest workers are often housed on the job site and are therefore able to work longer hours.”

“The Trump properties’ US job postings required three or six months’ prior relevant work experience, as well as that the candidate have “no visible tattoos or piercings.” Applicants, who are asked to commit to temporary jobs months in advance, are also asked to “be available to work split-shifts, nights, weekends & holidays” for shifts that could start as early as 7 a.m. or as late as 11 p.m., “7 days per week.””

@17 “Applicants … are also asked to ‘be available to work split-shifts, nights, weekends & holidays’ for shifts that could start as early as 7 a.m. or as late as 11 p.m., ‘7 days per week.'”

Sounds like a sweatshop. Exactly what you expect of Trump. For work he can’t outsource to China, he hires imported coolie labor.

I’ll bet his “guest workers” have no problem getting green cards. And I’ll bet Mar-O-Lago doesn’t get raided by CBP, either. Working for Trump has benefits. Lousy pay, shitty hours, but great benefits, i.e. you’re allowed to stay in this country hassle-free. Until you quit.

@17, 19. Seems like terrible working schedules and something nobody with a family could do. “I had to take my sick kid to the doctor,” “Slacker! “You’re Fired (TM)”!” Then…. Trumpers: See! he had to outsource, no lazy welfare American would do the work!

Kind of awkward that Donald is speaking at NRA convention on the same day Maria Butina is sentenced to 18 months for using the NRA to conspire against America and funnel Russian money into an NRA PAC who used the funds to promote the candidacy of Donald J. Trump.

It would be a shame if y’all put that photo of LaPierre beaming with Butina all over social media today.

“The driver accused of intentionally hitting a group of pedestrians in Northern California attacked people he believed were of the Muslim faith, police said. “Sunnyvale Police Chief Phan Ngo said Isaiah Joel Peoples also targeted the crowd based on race. … [A]n attorney representing Peoples … said Peoples is a religious man ….”

“A member of the independent counsel team that recommended the impeachment of President Bill Clinton says that President Trump’s attempts to obstruct justice are ‘blunter by a thousandfold’ than anything Clinton did and more than justifies the House Judiciary Committee opening impeachment proceedings. … Paul Rosenzweig, who served as a senior counsel to Ken Starr, said that a ‘significant number’ of his former colleagues from the independent counsel office share his views — although notably not Starr himself.”

Undocumented Demorat Of The Week Award Results–First Place, Undocumented Executioner Jose Avila-Agurcia. ——————————- Jose Avila-Agurcia, a 33-year-old illegal alien from Honduras, was charged with first-degree murder in Shleby County, Tennessee, this week for allegedly striking a four-month-old baby multiple times, inflicting fatal fractures to the baby’s skull and ribs. The child’s mother, Mercy Lizondro-Chacon, alleges that the suspect beat the baby to death when he found out that the baby was not his child after he previously assumed he had fathered the boy. An ICE spokesman told CR that biometrics confirm that the suspect’s real name is Carlos Zuniga-Aviles, an illegal alien who was previously deported five times prior to this incident. The name Jose Avila-Agurcia is an alias he provided to local officials.https://www.conservativereview.com/news/5-time-deported-illegal-alien-beats-baby-death-memphis/

Demorat Pornstar Party Of Russia Hoax & Removing POW/MIA Flags News– Demorats Show Respect For POW/MIA’s By Trashing Their Flags. ———————– Two prominent veterans organizations are asking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to put POW/MIA flags back up outside of every congressional office, after some Democrats took them down last month and replaced them with flags to honor the International Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31. Rolling Thunder, Inc. and AMVETS this week released a letter they wrote to Pelosi on April 9 asking that the POW/MIA flags — which honor Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action. “United States Capitol police officers recently pointed out to me that many members of the U.S. House of Representatives are no longer displaying the POW/MIA flag,” said AMVETS National Commander Rege Riley in a joint statement on Monday.https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/04/26/veterans-groups-ask-nancy-pelosi-to-put-pow-mia-flags-back-up-in-congress/

With Greyhound in Spokane, They only go to Seattle and Portland, and with Jefferson Lines and Northwestern Stage Lines, not much traffic in and out of the station. CBP and ICE just think it’s a quick place to do this at. I’ve been through that station a few times, for EWU Homecoming and the Dam Cup a few yeats ago, it’s gone downhill since I used it when I was attending EWU.
